Error refers to the difference between the sample data and the actual data of the population. It is the deviation that occurs due to various factors, such as sampling methods, flawed instrumentation, data collection, and human error. Therefore, option C) is the correct answer. Option A) is incorrect because it does not convey what error means. Option B) is incorrect because it is not an established term. Option D) is incorrect because inaccuracy implies the lack of precision or deviation from the expected value, but it does not necessarily equate to error.
